Introduction
Visual and Material Culture Studies is an interdisciplinary program that studies images, objects, and spaces from various cultural contexts and historical periods. Visual and Material Culture Studies shifts away from the interpretation of texts, which has dominated critical discourse for centuries, toward an examination of images, objects, and spaces.

At Mount Allison, Visual and Material Culture Studies courses are offered in two streams.
- Visual culture -- pertains to images, viewership, visual media, and practices of looking.
- Material culture -- encompasses all human-made and modified objects from the past and our contemporary world.
Visual and Material Culture Studies offers students innovative programming unique in its multidisciplinary composition, cross-cultural and trans-historical approach, and inclusive focus.
